Local Marines celebrate Corps’ birthday


What do you do when you are a 98-year-old World War II Marine veteran and you are at an older birthday party? On November 10, Eldor Fruehling 98, a resident at Maplewood Village, Sauk City, was the center of attention at the 248th birthday party of the United States Marine Corps. Present were Sauk Prairie Veterans Lachmund-Cramer Post 7694 members Marine Gene Parlow, on the left, and Marine John Gillespie on the right. Both Marines received Purple Hearts while serving in Vietnam, over fifty years ago. Standing in the middle is former Vietnam veteran Navy Hospital Corpsman Thomas “Tom” Murphy. While he was assigned as a medic to the Marines in Vietnam, was awarded a Bronze Star with “V” device for his actions while under fire, tending to wounded Marines. Navy veteran Murphy felt he could attend the party as the Marines are part of the Navy. Marines Parlow and Gillespie pointed out that the Marines were formed by Congress as the first military organization, ahead of the Navy.
